Magic's J.J. Redick is day-to-day with muscle strain

Redick, who sat out Monday night's game because of back spasms, said he has nothing more than a strained muscle and is day-to-day.

"It's really just kind of a muscular thing," Redick said. "It's like a little tweak in a hamstring or a tweaking of an oblique. It just happens to be right there in the side of my back."

Redick said he hurt the muscle warming up prior to Saturday's game against New Jersey.

Redick expects not to practice Wednesday, but his tentative plan is to participate in Orlando's shootaround Thursday and play against the Phoenix Suns that night.

In other injury news:

? Jameer Nelson did not practice today because his left ankle swelled a bit. It's nothing serious, and Stan Van Gundy expects Nelson to practice Wednesday.

? Mickael Pietrus did not practice today either after tweaking his right knee last night when a Memphis player fell on his leg. Pietrus returned to last night's game after the injury and said it's nothing serious.
